2 Palm Coast teens held up 3rd teen at gunpoint, steal his gun
A pair of Palm Coast teenagers were arrested Thursday in the robbery of another teen at gunpoint, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office. One of the stolen items: his parents' gun which he was carrying to 'look cool.' The News-Journal is not identifying the two 16-year-old males accused in the robbery and gun theft because they have not been charged as adults. The teen who was robbed said he met the other two in the parking of the European Village to hang out, according to the sheriff's office. The teen said he wanted to 'look cool' and 'fit in,' so he took his parents' handgun with him, according to the sheriff's office. The three juveniles were sitting in a car when one of the teens pointed a handgun at the teen's head and demanded his belongings. The teen complied and turned over his parents' gun and his money. He then got out of the car, walked home and told his mother, who called 911. Within an hour of the 911 call, deputies found the vehicle involved and 'conducted a high-risk traffic stop' at Lee and London Drives. They found the two teens accused in the armed robbery and theft inside the car. Detectives also found two handguns in a backpack in the car and also found marijuana, the sheriff' office stated. One of the teens, who was the driver, was charged with accessory after the fact, grand theft of a firearm, and possession of a firearm by minor. The other teen was charged with robbery with a firearm, grand theft of a firearm, possession of a firearm by minor, and violation of probation. Both teens were transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility for processing before being turned over to the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice in Daytona Beach. 'This was excellent work by our deputies, Major Case Unit detectives and analysts from our Real Time Crime Center, who quickly identified and apprehended both teenagers involved in this robbery,' said Sheriff Rick Staly. 'This incident could have ended in serious injuries or deaths but the swift action of the victim's parents and our deputies stopped these two before they could commit anymore crimes. Now, they will have to face the consequences of their actions and prosecution under State Attorney Larizza's 'Young Guns' initiative. I urge parents to take proper safety precautions and secure their firearms and remember to be the sheriff of your home.'
